    This isn’t mental illness, this is a Nazi.

      Oh no it is. West has iirc quite severe schizophrenia, and he’s not taking his meds for them due to paranoia (the meds are “stifling his creativity” you know).

      He wasn’t a Nazi before. Since he’s off his meds, he turned total Nazi. And iirc in the brief time where he started taking his meds again he apologised for some of the Nazi stuff. And now he’s off them again so it’s Nazi o’ clock.

      Seems very causally related tbh.

      For once I think it’s causation and not corelation.

  What in the actual fuck? I went and looked up the lyrics. I went and looked at some of the things people were saying on xcancel. I haven’t looked at the service formerly known as Twitter in years.

  So I repeat, what in the actual fuck? The very loud unveiled racism, the calling a black preacher “more like rabbi” for calling out hate, the glorifying Nazis by saying they drug Germany and the world into the modern age…like not dog whistles. Out and out fucking craziness.

  I mean, I knew these people existed. I know some in real life. I grew up near a whole town built on white supremacy and dated a woman whose incarcerated brother was in the Aryan Brotherhood (she cut off contact but her mom gave out her address…I got to read the letters from him and they were disturbing). Hell, a MUD I played had a front end called Stormfront so I ended up in a very bad Internet forum looking for info and even it was tame comparatively. I’ve never seen so many gathered in one place using such uncoded and terrible language.

  Jesus tapdancing Christ. It’s a different thing knowing something this horrible exists and seeing this bullshit go down.

    Disinformation is a cancer. In the absence of a shared nucleus of objective facts, all kinds of bullshit tumors fester. The horrors of Nazi genocide get downplayed, and the process of finding scapegoats to blame for economic problems starts again.

    Social media has enabled alternative facts and history. The lack of education gives fertile soil for stupidity to flourish. Desperate economic conditions give the motivation. Struggling, angry people can easily be brainwashed to blame other victims of the system, rather than the billionaires causing everyone’s suffering.

      Or white supremacy is an appealing ideology for sections of the global North populations who would rather enact massive violence to ensure a comfortable life for themselves than join a highly disruptive movement that threatens to knock them down several pegs on the world totem pole.

  He knows the Nazis would have straight up murdered him without even blinking right?

  It seems Mr West has been on a wild algorithm ride over the last few years.

    He has genuine and severe mental illnesses. He’s off his meds at the moment due to his paranoia about them.

    It’s incredibly clear when he’s off his meds, as when he’s on them he turns a lot more reasonable and not Nazi at all.
